>> Permissions on the share are for a group ABC (defined in Active Directory).

What permissions?

>> NTFS security is full acces for 'everyone'.

I believe that if you have given the "Everyone" group full access, it means no user needs to have any connection what-so-ever with the domain or users or what ever. It allows everyone in the entire world to connect to this share and have full access. I also believe this allow 'anonymous' connections, too.

I have always deleted Everyone from almost every share or permissions because of this. Even Authorized Users is not good in some instances.

For shares try this:
    Local Admins (which includes Domain Admins) Full
    Domain groups - whatever they need

Does this help?

  Hello,
  I have a share on a W2K Advanced server with active directory.
  Permissions on the share are for a group ABC (defined in Active Directory).
  NTFS security is full acces for 'everyone'.
  A user MrX belongs to group ABC.
  Whe MrX log on LOCALLY on a NT4 machine and this local account has the same
  username/password he can access the share. I think this shouldn't be
  possibble because the group is a domain group. And no explicit access for
  MrX has been defined on the share, only the ABC group. Nothing else.
  It gets worse: when he uses WinXP professional, and he has a LOCAL account
  with the same name but with an EMPTY password, he gets access to the share
  when he logs on LOCALLY!
  The guest account is disabled.
  I must be doing something stupid. Can anyone please tell me what could be
  the problem?
  Thanks in advance,
  Titus
